Christianity and Judaism are two separate religions with two separate approaches to life. Nevertheless, these two religions have often operated in similar spheres, and Christians and Jews have interacted over the centuries. Tragically, even in more modern times, this interaction often culminated in Christian assaults on Jewish communities and forced conversions to Christianity. But this Christian anti-Judaism did not always exist. This book reconsiders Christianity’s Jewish roots. In doing so, it asserts that Christians, despite their doctrinal disagreements with Jews, are to see Jews as part of their own spiritual family. Christianity and Judaism, rather than two religions, are one family.

George Booker has almost 60 years of experience as a Christadelphian, with membership in, and exposure to, several different fellowships, as well as various subsets within each group. Along the way, he has observed how ecclesias work, and also how they don’t work — in other words, what keeps ecclesias together, and what drives them apart. He has worked for years to produce a statement of faith which is based upon analysis of the preaching of Christ’s apostles — with the object of answering the questions: “Which Bible principles are essential for salvation? And which are secondary and thus non-essential? And how do we distinguish between the two?” That They May Be One contains revised versions of his books on this subject — particularly What Are the First Principles? and Biblical Fellowship — along with additional materials along the same lines. Those who are interested in unity within our community will most definitely want to read this book.

It is part of our natural tendency as humans to judge one another. We see someone act, and we immediately attempt to ascribe a motive––often the motive that we would have if we were to do the same thing. And yet, this form of judging is completely counter to what God calls us to do. Indeed, we are to judge whether actions are right or wrong, but we cannot judge motivations or character. This book explores why judging isn’t in our purview, and why this topic is so crucial for a believer’s life. Removing a judgmental attitude can change relationships, can relieve stress and make us more appreciative, and, most importantly, can draw us closer to our God and to the Lord.

This book, first published in the 1970s, answers very different questions coming from very different kinds of people. The unbeliever and the believer each want to know something different. How are these answers reached? By a careful examination of scores of places where the Bible claims to be revealing events in the “time of the end”. If you are an unbeliever, the first few chapters here will bring you face to face with up-to-date facts which take some explaining away. If you already believe in Christ, these early chapters will make a lively prelude to bigger excitements and faith-strengthening discoveries.

Most importantly, may these verses fill your mind and help you to become more and more like the one who was, and is, the word made flesh.

“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth” opens the lyrics of the Bible’s most complex Old Testament mystery: Solomon’s enigmatic Song of Songs. In truth, the Song is exactly as it appears: an intensely passionate expression of romantic love, both ascetic and sexual, between two lovers; with the poetry structured as a chiasmus, i.e. in two anti-symmetric halves. The spiritual lessons imprinted in the Song are simple, profound and highly relevant to the 21st century disciple; and the manner in which they can be seen to emerge from the symbology, fascinating.
